Ok, my lady got her on Oct 6th,and we went to the ss office and filed for her ss card.Its been 2 weeks since i was last there.So,today we went there,since we got married to update things.

I was told there,that since i didnt wait 10 days to file for her ss card, that we will have to wait up to 30 days for it to show up in the system.Then wait for a reference number and the card will follow 2 weeks later.

The whole time i was at the ss office they kepted telling me about homeland security and bla bla.So, i call up uscis,and asked what can i do.They tell me i dont have to wait on a ss card,and i can go ahead and file for AOS.They then told me i need to fill and send the following forms.

1)i-485

2)g-325a

3)i-864

4)i-693

5)i-765

And basically dont worry about the ss part.Is this correct?From reading on these boards, i was under the impression that you had to file for your ss card before you do the AOS.And then go back once you are married,and update it,but then it said if you do the go back after you are married you will be delayed with paperwork.

All of this is very nerve bleeding lol!

So, what should be my next step?

A social security card is not needed for AOS. A lot of people prefer to obtain it as soon as possible because it makes life easier in some respects.

right, not needed, if you can't get SS card now, don't worry about, file AOS ASAP...

The more you educate yourself, the better off you'll be. Mainly as I notice that the list 'they' (?) gave you does not include the I 131. Something most K1 entrants want to have. But as the others have stated - no SS is required to file AOS.

Too bad you didn't wait until at least 10 days after entry to apply for her SSN or after you had married. It would have saved you an extra trip at the very least. Hopefully the new card will arrive shortly though.

The only real mistake you can make on a K1 is forgetting to file for a SSN in the 78 days. If your AOS documents are in order file as soon as possible.

once you have your official copy of your certified marriage certificate, you can file for AOS. SSN is not needed. Although when you go in for your AOS interview you should have your SSN. Its not until later, I would suggest, get all of the paper work and documents ready to file for AOS.

More garbage from the untrained clerks at SS. Your K-1 fiancee is immediately eligible for a SS card. My wife had her number 2 days after arriving and her card in hand 6 days after arriving. Go back and speak to a supervisor.

You do not need the SSN for the AOS process.

Thanks for all the replies!

I will just get all the stuff for AOS ready and go that way.

Your wife got her number from an untrained clerk.
